Agenda

Let's hit the ground running! 👟 This week we will get into our groove with training. Let's go!

Slack Setup

We will use Slack for online messaging. "Slack organizes conversations into channels, where everyone can come together in one place to share ideas, make decisions and move work forward. It helps teams operate faster and stay in sync, wherever they are." --slack.com

Use slack to:

• Ask questions about the data analytics and robotics training

• Ask questions about career and college options

• Share interesting things you find related to STEM

✔️ Individual Deliverable: Say hello 👋to the group in Slack and add a profile photo 🖼️.

Breakout into Data Analytics and Robotics

Data Analytics

Spreadsheets: Working with CSV Files & Creating Charts

Exercise

Today we are going to do a very common and incredibly useful task for data analysts -- import a CSV file into a spreadsheet and create charts. This also aligns with the Google Data Analytics Certificate coursework.

Preparing the Movie Data

1. Create a new Google Sheets file on Google Drive

2. Download our movies dataset (CSV) and import it into your Google Sheet.
3. Review the column names and data.

Creating a Bar Chart

1. Create a bar chart of the top ten movies displaying the budget.

2. Format the budget column in dollars.

3. Format the chart with a clear title and axis label.

4. Review the chart. Does the data tell a story or raise any questions?

Creating a Scatterplot

1. Create a scatterplot comparing the revenue and vote_count.

2. Format revenue column in dollars.

3. Format the chart with a clear title and axes labels.

4. Review the chart. Does the data tell a story or raise any questions?

Creating a Histogram

1. Create a histogram of the runtime for all of the movies.

2. Format the chart with a clear title and axes labels.
